Nutrition, feeding and laying hen welfare [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
The relationship between nutrition and welfare is usually considered to be a direct result of supplying the hen with adequate quantities of feed and water. This simple notion of freedom from hunger and thirst belies the fact that nutrients play a pivotal

Millisecond‐Scale Relaxation in Metastable HZO Ferroelectric Capacitors for Bio‐Inspired Temporal Computing

open access: yesAdvanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Through the introduction of a niobium oxide layer into a hafnia ferroelectric capacitor stack, we build a memory device with a strong imprint effect. This imprint leads to a millisecond retention loss that can be tuned by the programming conditions that can be utilized as a scalable, analog hardware time constant for bio‐inspired temporal computing ...

Examining the catching, carrying, and crating process during depopulation of end-of-lay hens

open access: yesJournal of Applied Poultry Research, 2021
Summary: Laying hen flocks undergo depopulation at end of lay, a difficult process that has been associated with injuries and is considered stressful to hens and human collectors. To date, most assessments of depopulations have been conducted within cage

Understanding Egg Price Volatility and Policy Implications in the U.S. With Machine Learning

open access: yesApplied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Eggs are an inexpensive and sustainable source of proteins, but volatility in the U.S. egg prices has intensified in recent years, raising concerns over food affordability and market stability. This study examines the drivers of U.S. egg price dynamics over 2004–2025 using a two‐stage framework that combines LASSO‐based variable selection with

Activation of AMP-activated protein kinase signaling pathway ameliorates steatosis in laying hen hepatocytes

open access: yesPoultry Science, 2021
The fatty liver hemorrhage syndrome in laying hens is a disease of lipid metabolism disorders. Importantly, energy sensor AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) plays an essential role in homeostasis regulation of liver lipid.
